Make France Great Again

If the Russian Empire is not considered, Valette's diplomatic strategy in Constantinople can be said to be flawless. It used France's strong strength in the Mediterranean to pressure the Ottoman Empire to submit to the French government, and then through steps The Ottoman Empire also became a vassal state of France through gradual encroachment.

During this period, France and the Ottomans will inevitably have a long diplomatic tug-of-war. As long as the size is correctly grasped, the Ottoman elite can gradually favor the French government without irritating the Russian Empire. After all, France and the Ottomans can be regarded as long-standing allies, the Sacrifice Alliance during the Bourbon period, and the "Alliance against Russia" during the First Empire.

Although the French Empire and the Ottoman Empire were somewhat unhappy during the restoration of Bourbon and the Kingdom of Orleans, the interests between countries will make the Ottoman Empire abandon the Russian Empire and join the French Empire. The process may take a little longer.

But Jérôme Bonaparte and De Luys never imagined that the high-ranking officials of the Ottoman Empire would kneel down so quickly. They even completely ignored the attitude of the Russian Empire.

The Ottoman Empire quickly fell to its knees and allowed the French Empire to gain the right to adjudicate over the Holy Land. This power was like a hot potato. While it brought prestige to the French Empire and Jerome Bonaparte, it also forced the French Empire to hold on. Scalp faced the Russian Empire.

Of course, this does not mean that the French Imperial Army was not a rival to the Russian Empire. On the contrary, the current French Empire, both in terms of military structure and firepower, is able to completely defeat the Russian Empire, whose troops have never been fully staffed and whose firepower still remains at the level of the pre-Napoleonic Wars.

However, Jerome Bonaparte understood that France's real enemy had never been the Russian Empire, but the Kingdom of Prussia next door to his home and the Kingdom of Britain across the Channel.

Whenever Jerome Bonaparte recalled the millions of troops that Prussia mobilized in 1870, he wished he could kill the Kingdom of Prussia now.

However, the Kingdom of Prussia has never done anything to trample on European peace, and it is impossible for Jerome Bonaparte to directly beat the Kingdom of Prussia for no reason.

Otherwise, countries will recall the fear of being dominated by the First Empire and quickly form an anti-French alliance. Only destruction awaits him.

The Austro-Prussian War two years ago (in 1850) was just an appetizer to weaken Prussia. Today, the Kingdom of Prussia has completely transformed into a country under autocratic kingship. Under the instigation of Jérôme Bonaparte , the residents of the Rhineland region under the autocratic royal power began to recall the bitterness and sweetness of the French Empire. Many Rhinelander Germans who could not bear the oppression of the Prussian soldiers had fled to Strasbourg in batches.

By the end of 1852, the Strasbourg area had received nearly 50,000 "German compatriots."

The topic has gone off topic. Jerome Bonaparte's army reform for the Kingdom of Prussia and the naval reform for Britain are already proceeding in an orderly manner. If the war started now, Jerome Bonaparte was afraid that it would affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

The force staff system structured as corps, division, brigade and regiment is still in the running-in stage.

"Your Majesty, the Russian Empire may not give us so much time!" De Luys said with a wry smile on his lips: "They are likely to make big moves in the near future!"

"I think so too!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly, and then asked De Ruys seriously: "Is there any way to buy more time?"

De Luys lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head again and replied: "Your Majesty, now the only way to alleviate the problem is to transfer Valette back from the position of ambassador of Constantine!"

"Transfer Valette back?" Jérôme Bonaparte muttered softly.

Jérôme Bonaparte has some thoughts about the plan proposed by De Ruys. As of now, only by transferring Valette, the master of arching fire, back from Constantinople can the situation be alleviated.

However, Jérôme Bonaparte still has some concerns about the current public opinion issues.

Now the clergy in Paris have regarded Wright as the first contributor to the "recovery" of the Holy Land. If the situation is not handled well, it will cause a backlash from the clergy, which will also damage the prestige of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Let's do this! Send someone to ask Valette! If he is willing to serve as France's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Britain. If you are willing, then set off immediately!" Jerome Bonaparte decided to use gentle means to conquer Valette. Wright was transferred from Constantinople.

In terms of administrative level and importance, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to Britain is the highest among all ambassadors. The only one above him is the current Foreign Secretary De Ruys.

After serving as the French Ambassador to Britain, De Ruys was promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs by Jérôme Bonaparte.

It has been nearly three years since he occupied this position. Jérôme Bonaparte does not believe that Valette's faith can withstand the corrosion of real money.

"Yes!" De Luys immediately nodded in agreement with the decision, and then added: "Your Majesty, the next Ambassador of Constantinople..."

"I plan to put Valewski in charge!" Jérôme Bonaparte replied to De Ruys.

A trace of disappointment flashed in De Luys's eyes. Originally, he wanted to recommend his favorite candidate to Jerome Bonaparte. Now that the emperor already has his favorite candidate, there is no need for him to say more.

"Your Excellency Walewski has sufficient diplomatic experience and is indeed a qualified candidate!" De Luys, who stood as the Foreign Minister, commented impartially on Walewski.

"With your words, I feel relieved!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled happily.

After Jerome Bonaparte and De Ruys once again had a brief conversation about the situation in Europe, Jerome Bonaparte personally sent De Ruys away from the Tuileries Palace.

After watching De Ruys leave the Tuileries Palace, Jérôme Bonaparte put away his smile and turned to a serious expression. Then he ordered Mokar to call Valewski who was idle at home again. To the Tuileries Palace.

Since Walewski returned to Paris to deliver his mission, he has been wandering around the major opera houses like an idler with nothing to do.

The former position of Secretary-General has been completely handed over to the Lord Chancellor Morny, and judging from Jerome Bonaparte's attitude, it seems that he has no intention of handing over the Secretary-General's office to himself.

This made Walewski's will somewhat depressed, and wandering around the opera house all day long was his only pleasure.

On this day, Walewski was still watching a play in the box of the Opera House. Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the box.

"Come in!" Walewski said calmly.

"Mr. Walewski, Your Majesty wants you to come over now!"

Mokar's voice reached Valewski's ears, and Valewski immediately cheered up. He quickly stood up and responded to Mokar: "I'm going now!"

After saying that, he went to the Tuileries Palace with Mokar.

Valewski, who had just half-stepped into the study, heard Jérôme Bonaparte's voice in the study: "Cousin, do I need your help?"

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was signing with his head lowered, and his desk was once again filled with documents that needed to be signed.

Walewski hurriedly responded respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte: "I am willing to serve you!"

Jérôme Bonaparte raised his head and glanced at Valewski, who was still standing at the door, stretched out his hand and signaled: "Come and sit!"

Walewski quickly came and sat down in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's it!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Valewski while sorting out the documents: "I want you to go to Constantinople and serve as ambassador there! I don't know what you want. how?"

"Ambassador of Constantinople?" Valewski frowned slightly, and then asked cautiously: "I remember, isn't Mr. Valette serving as the ambassador there?"

"The news is quite good!" Jérôme Bonaparte was stunned for a moment, then smiled again on his face.

The news that the Ottoman Empire transferred the decision-making power of the Holy Land to the French Empire only spread in the religious circles. The non-religious fields and areas with underdeveloped information rarely knew about this issue. However, the Parisian upper class was a circle where the news spread relatively widely. There are a large number of religious people.

Therefore, Walewski was able to know that this news was both unexpected and reasonable by Jérôme Bonaparte.

"In recent times, I have been in and out of the opera house frequently, and I know something about the Holy Land!" Walewski explained to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Now that you know everything, let me explain it to you!" Jerome Bonaparte accepted Valewski's words, "The purpose of your trip to Constantinople is to succeed Valet Assuming the position of ambassador to Constantinople!”

"What do I need to do!" Valewski asked succinctly. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"Drag!" Jérôme Bonaparte said briefly.

"Delay?" Walewski was a little surprised.

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and then explained: "Your mission is to hold back the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire so that they do not start friction as soon as possible! The longer you delay, the more likely we will be next Military operations will be more beneficial!

So you need to use every possible means to hold back these two countries, so that the Ottoman Empire will not submit too much to the Russian Empire, and at the same time, you need to hold back the Russian Empire from launching a war with the Ottoman Empire in the near future!

As long as you can do these two things! "

"Promise to complete the task!" Walewski promised Jérôme Bonaparte.
